Note: If you have not tried, I recommend first installing the original drivers of your video card - from official sites NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, or from the manufacturer's site of the laptop, if it is a laptop. Perhaps this step will allow you to solve the problem without turning off the hardware acceleration.
Disable hardware acceleration in Yandex browser
In order to turn off the hardware acceleration in the Yandex browser, do the following steps:
- Go to the settings (clicking on the settings button on the right up-settings).
- At the bottom of the settings page, click "Show Advanced Settings".
- In the list of additional settings, in the "System" section, turn off the "Use hardware acceleration" item if possible.
After that restart the browser.
Note: If the problems caused by hardware acceleration in the Yandex browser occurs only when watching video on the Internet, you can turn off the hardware acceleration of the video without affecting it for other items:
- In the browser address bar, enter the Browser: // Flags and press ENTER.
- Find the "hardware acceleration for video decoding" - # disable-accelerated-video-decode (you can press Ctrl + F and start typing the specified key).
- Click "Disable".
In order to change the settings to take effect, restart the browser.
Google Chrome.
In the Google Chrome browser, turning off the hardware acceleration is performed almost in the same way as in the previous case. Steps will be as follows:
- Open "Settings" Google Chrome.
- At the bottom of the settings page, click "Show Advanced Settings".
- In the "System" section, turn off the "Use hardware acceleration (if available" item.
After that, close and start Google Chrome again.
Similar to the previous case, you can disable hardware acceleration for video only if problems occur only when it is played online, for this:
- In the address bar Google Chrome, enter chrome: // flags and press ENTER
- On the page that opens, find "hardware acceleration for video decoding" # disable-accelerated-video-decode and click "Disable".
- Restart the browser.
This actions can be considered complete if you do not need to disconnect the hardware acceleration of the drawing of any other items (in this case, you can also find them on the inclusion page and disconnect the Chrome experimental functions).
How to turn off the hardware acceleration Flash
Next - how to disable the hardware acceleration Flash, and we will discuss exactly the built-in plugin in Google Chrome and Yandex browser, since most often the task is to turn off the acceleration in them.
Procedure for turning off the acceleration of the Flash plugin:
- Open any Flash content in the browser, for example, on the https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html page in the 5th item there is a Flash movie to check the work of the plug-in in the browser.
- Click on Flash the contents right-click and select "Settings".
- On the first tab, remove the "Enable hardware acceleration" mark and close the parameters window.
In the future, the newly opened Flash rollers will be launched without hardware acceleration.
